Prosecution of subject who swindled joint venture project, embezzling 17,000 USD

On December 13, the Investigation Police Agency of Dong Da District Police (Hanoi) announced that it had decided to prosecute the case and prosecute Pham Quang Hung, (born in 1954), residing in Phu Phuong, Ba Vi, Hanoi, to investigate the act of fraud and property appropriation.

According to initial information, in May 2017, the Dong Da District Police Investigation Agency received a complaint from Mr. X, director of a construction company (headquartered in Dong Da District) accusing Pham Quang Hung of fraud of 17,000 USD. Mr. X knew Hung before.

Hung bragged to Mr. X that he was working for an import-export joint stock company in Thai Nguyen and had many connections; if Mr. X gave Hung money to go on a diplomatic mission, it would help Mr. X's company construct the infrastructure for the Samsung Thai Nguyen Factory project and the Administrative Area construction project in Dong Hy district, Thai Nguyen.

However, after receiving a total of 17,000 USD from Mr. X to "run" the project, Hung could not take care of it and did not return the money.

The police agency investigated and clarified that the Samsung Thai Nguyen project was started in March 2013 and completed and put into operation in March 2014. The construction process was carried out by a foreign company as the general contractor. This company has no relation to Pham Quang Hung.

Verifying the import-export joint stock company in Thai Nguyen that Hung introduced as working, it was known that this company was not selected by the People's Committee of Thai Nguyen province to be the investor of the project to build the Administrative Area in Dong Hy district as Hung said. Pham Quang Hung was an employee of this company from August 2014 to August 2015.

At the Investigation Agency, Pham Quang Hung confessed that he had planned to defraud Mr. X. His method was to choose a foreign enterprise so that the victim would not have the opportunity to enter or exit the enterprise to learn and verify the situation.

Currently, the police are continuing to investigate and handle the case according to the provisions of law./.
